Privacy Policy
OnStream is built so that we never need your personal data. This policy explains exactly what is and isn't collected when you use the app or this website.
1. Overview
This Privacy Policy describes how OnStream ('we', 'us', 'the app') handles information in connection with the OnStream application and this website. By using either, you agree to the practices described here.
Our guiding principle is simple: the less data we hold, the less there is to lose. OnStream has no user accounts, no sign-up form and no payment processing, which removes the majority of personal data that other streaming services collect by default.
2. Information We Do Not Collect
We do not ask for, store or sell any of the following:
- Your name, email address or phone number
- Payment or billing information of any kind
- Social media logins or contact lists
- Precise location data
- A personal viewing profile tied to your identity
3. Information That May Be Processed Automatically
Like nearly all software, the app and website may process limited technical information required to function: device type and operating system version, app version, approximate region derived from your IP address, and anonymous crash reports. This information is aggregated and cannot reasonably be used to identify you.
Any local data — your watchlist, favourites, playback position, subtitle preferences and offline downloads — is stored on your own device and is never uploaded to us.
4. Cookies and Analytics
This website may use essential cookies to remember basic preferences, and privacy-respecting analytics to understand which pages are useful. You can block or delete cookies through your browser settings at any time without losing access to any content.
5. Third-Party Sources and Links
OnStream indexes publicly available streaming links from third-party sources. When you play a title, playback occurs through the third-party server you select. Those providers operate under their own privacy policies, which we do not control. We recommend using a reputable VPN if you wish to keep your streaming activity private from your internet provider.
This website may also link to external sites, such as emulator or VPN vendors. We are not responsible for the content or privacy practices of those sites.
6. Children's Privacy
OnStream is not directed at children under 13 and we do not knowingly collect information from them. Parents should supervise use of the app, since indexed third-party catalogues may include content intended for adult audiences.
7. Data Security
Because we do not hold accounts or personal records, there is no user database to breach. Website infrastructure is protected using standard industry measures including encrypted transport (HTTPS) and access controls.
8. Your Rights
Depending on your jurisdiction you may have rights to access, correct or delete personal data held about you. Since we do not hold identifiable personal data, most requests can be resolved immediately — but you are welcome to contact us to confirm.
9. Changes to This Policy
We may update this policy to reflect changes in the app or in applicable law. Material changes will be reflected by an updated revision date on this page, and continued use of OnStream after such changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
10. Contact
Questions about this policy can be sent through our Contact page. We aim to respond to privacy enquiries within one to two business days.
